Album news: Closer to Earth and Scarlet

Closer to Earth
While we were out there we also sold a little promo CD containing four songs from our forthcoming album (Closer to Earth), which, by the way sold ridiculously well!!! :O)) Although we later discovered that there was a umm... small pressing problem (all four tracks played as one!!!), so we're not going to be selling those on line...

Sorry...

However, we're planning to put the whole entire album up on iTunes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, 'Closer to Earth' will finally be released and available on 4-4-11... that's less than two weeks away!!!!!! :O)))

Scarlet news
As some of you may know I was never completely happy with my album 'Scarlet'... I rushed to finish it before heading out on my first Roger Waters tour (the 'Dark Side Of The Moon' tour), and regretted it ever since!!!

And so, being ever the perfectionist, I went back, added some guitars, some voices, tweaked, remixed, remastered (with the indispensable help & support of my good friend Jamie Humphries)... and now it sounds totally amazing!!!! :O))

So now, 'Scarlet, the Director's Cut' will also be available on 4-4-11!!!! Firstly as a download on iTunes, and then later on CD...

Yep, albums from me are like buses... nothing for ages, and then two come along at the same time!!!

Even MORE stuff!!!!!!
And if all that wasn't enough, during last years craziness I also found time to add a few guitars to Heather Findlay's solo EP 'The Phoenix Suite'... which will be available next month!!! See www.heatherfindlay.net for more details...

Heather's also asked me to join her band for a couple of Festivals this Summer too!!! :O)) So more news on that when I have it!!!

Finally...
Japan and it's people have always been very close to my heart... and I'm still deeply shocked and saddened by the catastrophic effects of the recent Earthquake and Tsunami off the North coast of Japan... not to mention the current threat of nuclear disaster, and the food/water contamination as well...

Those people have been through so much already... and I really wish I could help in some way... hopefully I'll figure something out...
